Competitors during the Maldon Mud Race,
a charity event on the River Blackwater in Maldon, Essex. The race
originated in 1973, with a dare being given by a local resident to the
landlord of the Queens Head public house, which stands on the Hythe Quay
in Maldon, challenging him to serve a meal on the saltings of the
Rivers Blackwater dressed in a dinner jacket. The challenge was accepted
and carried out, resulting next year in a bar being opened on the
saltings. About twenty people made a mad dash across the driver bed,
drank a pint of beer and dashed back.
